Holy Holy Port Rd

Alongside the announcement of an east coast tour this January and February, Holy Holy reveals new single Port Rd feat. Queen P and the accompanying video via Wonderlick Recordings. The urgent and ambitious new single showcases the latest progression in their shapeshifting sound as they maintain an unshakable sense of what has come to define them.

Port Rd, inspired by a quote from author Arundhati Roy (see below), focuses on the terrifying-yet-exciting nature of change and what awaits on the other side. 

The track features a collaboration with emerging Melbourne rapper, Queen P, whose fresh presence on the record complements Tim Carroll's rich vocals.  "I love the energy she brings," he says. "I love collaboration. There's something really nice about a song having multiple characters - in every way; in the texture of the voice, in the personality and in the story. We feel privileged that she's up for that."

Holy Holy also invited fans to submit their vocals via social media, to form the choir that drives much of the emotional punch of the song.

The Port Rd film clip is a product of change. Conceived and produced in lockdown, from over 300 video snippets created by Holy Holy fans; this is a visual response to a collective shift. 

Their first new music since their ARIA & J Award nominated album My Own Pool of Light (2019), Oscar Dawson and Tim Carroll created Port Rd completely remotely from each other.  The duo found the limitations of the pandemic also held opportunities for experimentation and exploration, testing the limits of what the band can do and be. This also involved inviting fans to submit their vocals via social media to form the choir that drives much of the emotional punch of the song.
